Black Sea
Sealed 2019 200gm Remastered Reissue, Cut From New Masters Approved By Andy Partridge. "Xtc Continue On With The Big Drum Sound Of Drums And Wires, Adding More Polish And An Even Heavier-hitting Approach For Black Sea -- Their Arrangements Are Fuller And They Rock Harder Than Ever Before. Where Drums And Wires Implied Social Commentary, Black Sea More Directly Addresses Sociopolitical Concerns, Handling Them Not Strictly In A Theoretical Sense, But Rather Showing A Human Response To The Circumstances. Of Course, The Band's Skewed Outlook And Mid-'60s Pop Sense Keeps Things From Becoming Too Heavy -- Included Are Some Of Their Finest Songs, Like "Respectable Street," "Generals And Majors," And "Towers Of London," As Well As The Thoroughly Enjoyable Pop Fluff Throwaway "Sgt. Rock (Is Going To Help Me)" To Keep The Mood Light. All In All, There Isn't A Bad Song In The Bunch -- Black Sea Is Their Most Consistent Album To Date -- And Although Xtc Always Operated On The Fringes, The Album Is Their Most Commercial-sounding, Fitting In Perfectly With The New Wave Of The Late '70s/early '80s." AMG Review By Chris Woodstra.
